Printed electronics has been the subject of intense research over the past few decades and many possible applications has been proposed. However, in order for printed electronics to be commercialized, we must discuss printed electronics from an entirely different perspective, from that of research-oriented to industry-oriented thinking: from that of proof-of-concept lab-scale demonstrations to feasibility of mass production and market value. Often times, it is assumed that lab-scale demonstrations will lead to mass production; however, there are many challenges that must be solved and new topics that must be discussed to bridge the two. In this special session, people with various experiences will discuss the challenges for the commercialization of printed electronics. This will be a great opportunity for everyone to get a sense of what is really needed to break the technological barrier and transition printed electronics from research labs to commercial production.
Please help us prepare for this important session by answering the following questionnaire (In either Korean or English).

. Please discuss the factors you have considered when first conceptualizing your printed electronic product. Below are some examples.Market size, competitiveness of product, feasibility (Can your idea actually be developed into a product? How much resource and time is needed to find out? What is the margin for failure?)

Please discuss the factors you have considered in mass producing your product. (e.g. Repeatability, reproducibility, yield, uniformity). Please describe some key issues you have faced and how they were solved.
